All i'm saying is that i've seen hermit crabs with better social status than George. He really didnt seem to get out much, did he? Plus, I feel he had a chip on his shoulder since 1969 concerning the other guys.

Dont make so much into it. After all, as you've said many times before, its a public forum and we're all entitled to our opinions.

Anyway, nothing you've said in your last post seems to have anything to do with George being a prude! A prude is someone who is overly prim, or easily offended by 'naughty' words or actions. That's the reason I was wanting you to expand on what you said: I wouldn't have called George a prude, myself. I'm thinking that you have a different understanding of 'prude' to what I have.

Prude - One who is excessively concerned with being or appearing to be proper, modest, or righteous.

or, a definition that fits an example of Ydoll perfectly -

prude A person who's Superego overwhelms their Id.

How cute: sadly though, I have to tell you you have missed the point.

That first def of prude is OK - providing you realize that it means 'proper, modest, righteous' in a sexual purity sense. Prudes don't like to use or hear swearing, even of very mild sorts. They don't like clothing that reveals what they consider too much flesh, or clothing that is provocative sexually. They don't like behavior that is in the least lewd, 'immoral' sexually, etc. I doubt if George was a prude in these senses.

He was certainly a 'righteous' man, in the sense of being sure of what is a (a, not the, note) correct pathway to 'god'. Righteous has lots of meanings, but trying to apply 'prude' to George via one of the other meanings of righteous is intellectually dishonest.

As to the other definition

Quote

A person who's Superego overwhelms their Id.

, I wonder if you actually know what it means? If a person's 'superego' overwhelms their 'id', that simply means that their 'moral conscience' prohibits their 'basic instincts'. It's a Freudian idea, this id/ego/superego thing. A Freudian would possibly agree that a prude IS such a person.

But in reckoning that the definition could apply to me, clearly you have made the schoolboy mistake of thinking that the 'super' in 'superego' means big, or bloated. It doesn't - it means simply 'above'. So superego means above self (= ego).

tk has a habit of being hot headed its true but he is like most drummers,consistant.he really means no harm,he just wants to be treat civil as most do.you put peoples defenses up.they feel threatened and become p*ssed and find they are at a loss for witty retorts and name call.i name call either way.........
